CouchDB from 10,000 ft - an introduction to CouchDB
This presentation takes a look at CouchDB from 10,000 ft. We try
not to lose you in technical details and paint the big picture that you
need to understand CouchDB’s strengths and weaknesses.
CouchDB
is a document oriented database. It does not adhere to the relational
principles of traditional databases. You will learn what that means for
your application design.
CouchDB’s replication
support solves the problems of high-traffic web sites, distributed
peer-to-peer, and offline applications all at the same time. We show
you what kind of applications you are able to build with that.
However,
CouchDB is no Silver Bullet and there are cases where it is a poor fit.
You will learn to decide when to use it for your project and when you
are better off with a different solution.
